OTTAWA,

The
longest
session
in
the
history
of
the
Can
adian
Parliament
was
brought
to
an
end
In
Ottawa
this
afternoon.
The
present
sitting
began
at
the
end
of
last
January
and
continued
until
early
in
August,
re
suming
for
another
two
weeks
in
late
November
for
the
emergency
conscription
meeting.
Neither
members
nor
spectators
were
present
in
large
num
bcrs
for
today's
prorogation.
The
main
reason
for
this
was
uncertainty
as
to
whether
another
scs-'sion
of
the
present
Parliament
I
would
be
held
before
dlssolutton
'in
April.
This
In

on

outcome

which

Had
events
followed
their
nor
mal
course,
Parliament
would
j
have
prorogued
today
and
opened
the
1945
session
tomorrow.
,
The
speech
from
the
Throne
made
no
mention
of
a
general
election
or
another
s-esslon'
of
the
present
Parliament.
It
warned,
however,
that
the
last
stage
of
the

in
Europe
might
be
the
costliest.

From

this

came
an
announcement
that

With

being
pounded
from
both
sides,
Adolf
Hitler
has
cold

for

countrymen.
He
told

last

that

will

on,
as
he
put
it
"No

and
no

under

circumstances
until

victory
crowns
our
efforts."
